DIMMED STAR EMERGING FROM CLOUD Melbourne MwDowell Shows Some or His Old Form In His Appear ance With the Actress Who Once Called Portland Her Home. ' V :? ; 'By J. F. S. S Melbourne McDowell, one time I co-star, with fanny Davenport, I - and one o the greatest Antonys .that ever, played the role of the Roman general, to ultimately be . tossed -into the button-moldcr's pot with those who 'have neither great virtues nor great sins? It was a strange Melbourne Mc . Dowrll that we saw last week in the little, old theatre with its cramped stage and motley audience a Mel- , Tiourne McDowell who had lived and liad seen life and acted life, and who had faced death and drunk the cup of humiliation. That physique, which in 111 I younger days must have been magnificent and which is still, in spite of its tendency to heaviness, is commanding, seemed pitifully out of : place in the tawdry settings of the . act. '.And that full, richly toned voice seemed strauffely out of tune with ; the common noises of a cheap vaude ville house. , .? "Have you ever noticed," said a ' f-'fhan the other- day. "that an actor never speaks of the present? It is always the past or the future." The TcnTark was occasioned by overhear ing two actresses, tcated at a nearby table in the cafe, remark that last year they had played to record btui- - nesi during their Portland engage ment. . It is always what an actor has been, what successes he had in his younger days or in past seasons, how excel- lent he was in some other part or else how great he is going to be. The retrospective view is paralyzing; the ' present is inconsequential; it is only ' the future that can really result in expansion and that holds out hope for the people of the stage. . knew the story of Mr. McDow ' ell's past The present was only too plainly in evidence. The interesting thing was what the future might ho!! in store for him. Could he overcome the years wasted and harder still, the memories of what he had been, and rise by stepping stones of his dead ' selves to higher things? . I lis act was a bad one, in many "respects, and sinned against good taste in many more. But that it was powerfully done could not be denied when Marius, the slave, stepped upon the stage the audience felt that it was looking upon a personage. The lower jaw was overgrown with flesh. The hair was white over the temples. .Hut he stepped with a grace that be spoke the accomplished actor. &nd '. the richness of his voice was still im- Jiressi.ve and inspiring. The eye lashed clear and true. Only the mouth gave the impression of weak ness; the mouth and the lines of the clnn. When, later on I met Mr. Me Dowell in my capacity as interviewer hi looked the part of a man who was ' lighting to attain something that he frcatly desired. What that might be was fortunately spared the impert inence of asking. The past had left its stamp, of course. You could ace it in the pathetic look of the eyes, a ook that was pathetic in spite of its directness and resolve, and that seemed to be inspired by the cry of ' the balls of wool, the materialized Ill 'JUg 1119.

And perhaps he will prove the truth of the buttonmaker's, "To find thyself is to slay thyself." For Melbourne McDowell is trying diu- . gently to find himself. Everything that was his is cone. Wonderful Fanny Davenport has . .. J . J l TM try' home invthe Massachusetts Nerk- shires , has been sold. The Sardou plays, the Fedora, La Tosca, all the "treasured property of Davenport, '. have fallen into other hands.

His present act is the best work he has done for years. And he is sticking to it faithfully and hard, determined to again climb the ladder which seemed of so little con sequence years ago. With McDowell, too, it is no the past, nor the pres ent, but the future. Like Maeter linck he has set out ! to meet the things that are coming to meet him and to grapple with them as best he may. We were Riven a particularly de lightful view of our friend the devil last Veek a view that recalled how freouentlv he used to be seen upon the stage and how the fashions of today have practically banished him from stage society excepting as polite imprecation now and then. lit was the devil of childhood s dreams, the personification of the first picture of Satan that I ever saw and the one that has always remained in memory. It was on the cover of volume called Horrors of the Johnstown Flood." which adorned the center tabic of my dentist's wait ing room. What the devil had to do with the Johnstown flood va never explained. He had not much more excuse for appearing in "The Black Crook," but he was there and lent a cheerful bit of color to the produc tion, so every one was glad to see him. What would the world be without the devil?. He personifies ambition and ambition makes life worth the living. WaS it not for ambition that the unfortunate red-garbed one was ejected by Saint Michael? He was a nuisance probably, as most pverly ambitious people arc. But it isn't probable that he was the owner of a pitch fork at that time. The pitch fork, we are informed, came later,, after he so shamelessly took advan tage of the credulity of Eve that ever since he has been kept reasonably busy by her daughters. The forked tail was probably added to his cos tume after his shameless nagging of poor Job. It was the Job incident, you remember, that settled the ques tion of Satan's residence in hell. His badgering of that well-meaning old polygamist settled his fate once and for all. During the middle ages he was ex tremely active. No drama was com plete without him. But he hasn't been at all popular recently. In fact it has been considered rather bad form o have him around at all. That is why we welcomed him so vociferously upon the occasion of his appearance at the Heilig last Sunday night. He was the real thing, with brimstone and hre-sputtenng pitch fork and all. But he's not half as black as he's been painted. For after he had done his best to secure the souls of the two lovers, after he had bribed the Black Crook himself into doing his will and had caused his hags to screech their loudest imprecations into the cars of God-fearing folk he came out and admitted that it was all no use. Unfortunately I can't remember that speech or The Journal would print it today. But in it he confessed that the world was getting better all the time and that vice could not stand up against virtue. The devil has his good qualities. He is an optimist. Wasn't it Robert Burns who wrote to his fellow-sinner exhorting him to repentance: "But fare you weel, auld Nickie-Ben!

They all got out of the wreck without being seriously Injured, although Mr. Oboe's back waa hurt and sometimes pains him In the night. A week or so ago Obee was caught in a country hotel and forced to share his room with a traveling man. When he had been asleep some hours Obee waa awakened by bavins; his bed-fellow shake him roughly and peering anxiously Into his face say, "Good heavens man! What havo you done? Hadn't you better get It off your conscience? Tell It to the sheriff!" Obee unconsciously moaned nil through the night and the traveling man guppoBed that he was sleeping with a conscience-stricken criminal. But the theatrical man shies now whenever a sheriff Is mentioned In his hearing. TRAIN WAITED. "Would I want to be a boy? Well, I should say not!" Thus, in no uncertain tones did Miss Ruth Whitestar of "The Burgomaster" company which comes to the Heilig next Sunday night who plays the role of Willie, Van Astorbtlt in that production, rise up In defense of her sex and express .her abhorrence of masculinity with a reservation, of course.

From the Kansas City Journal. Theodore A. Hoppenjon, tha Union depot barber, keeps n private mug for Senator Clark of Montana and various eastern railway officials. He has been called out of bed at night to shave an eccentric- patron, but he said last night that the demands made upon him by R. T.

A. .. . . - mgnt tne urane car was atutened to the Santa Fe ro. v. inbound. As the trail neared Chllllcothe. Illinois, the imple ment magnate discovered that he had forgotten his safety razor when he packed for his trip to Los Angeles. Crane had the conductor - of his train telegraph the Santa Fa agent here to have a barber at tha depot for him. The train was late and it doesn't stop here more than 10 minutes when on time. Hoppendon waa notified and was in readiness with hla outfit the lather all ready made up. As the train entered the Union depot at t:25 the batc her swung on the private car and had hia patron lathered before tha engine was stopped. Crane, Bitting in the drawing-room of his car, was enjoying a game of solitaire. The cards were spread about the table and the Imple ment king did not appear to notice the barber's- presence. When the lather brush began to tickle his mouth Crana, without looking up. Inquired: "Does the game interfere with von?" When Hoppenjon replied. "I'm here only to shave," Crane placed the next card carefully and went on with the game. The barber finished In five min utes, waa paid by a secretary and bowed out of the oar.
